Captivated Lovers 2

Love & Spaghetti on Aisle Eight

Seth Patrick O’Connal is leery of dating, especially after being

used by previous love interests to get closer to his best friend’s

billionaire husband. When he’s approached in the supermarket by

a handsome Italian offering to make him homemade spaghetti, he

can’t help but say yes, even if he’s hesitant. When their first date

rocks Seth’s world, he wonders if sharing his secret is the next

step or if he should keep it to himself.

Detective Francesco "Frankie" Giovanni Leonardo De Luca is

enchanted by Seth. The man seems to be just about perfect.

Afraid of scaring Seth off, he wants to get to know him better

before spilling the beans about his dangerous line of work. After

being called to the scene of a bombing, Frank is shocked to learn

that the victim is none other than his Seth. But finding out who is

after Seth might be easier than accepting Seth’s secret.

Prologue

“You know that stuff will kill you, right?”

Seth looked up from his squatted position in front of the numerous

jars of premade spaghetti sauce to see a long set of jean-clad legs

standing beside him. He followed the well-muscled legs all the way

up past a flat abdomen and wide muscular chest to the sexiest chiseled

face he’d ever laid eyes on. There was even a hint of dark stubble on

the man’s square jaw.

Seth cocked an eyebrow at the man as he looked up at him. “You

have something better in mind?”

“I might,” the man said, and then he grinned, his face showing off

the most delicious looking dimples, one on each cheek.

Seth flushed when the sudden ache to lick those dimples almost

overcame his common sense. The man that stood before him was very

obviously fit. While Seth could hold his own in most situations, this

guy could probably wipe the floor with him.

Seth knew he needed to tread carefully. The invitation seemed to

be there in the man’s sparkling blue eyes, but Seth had been wrong

before and paid the price in bruises and sore muscles. The man might

not even be gay.

The stranger held out his hand. “The name’s Frank, Frank De

Luca.”

Seth took the man’s hand, standing to his feet. He shook it for a

moment then let it go, wishing he didn’t have to. “Seth O’Connal.”

Frank gestured to the jar of premade spaghetti sauce Seth had

been looking at moments before. “Do you always eat processed food?

Homemade is so much better.”

“I do if I don’t want to poison myself.” Seth chuckled. “I’m not

much of a cook.”

“Not good with your hands?”

Seth knew there had to be a hidden message in those words. Okay,

he hoped there was a hidden message in those words. “I’m good with

my hands, very good in fact, just not in the kitchen.”

One dark eyebrow arched, and then the dimples came back as

Frank smiled again. “Just what can you do with your hands then?”

Seth was ready to come in his jeans right where he stood. The

most gorgeous man in the universe was coming on to him. There just

couldn’t be any other explanation. The signals the guy threw out were

too well placed.

“I can do a lot of things with my hands. I just can’t cook,” Seth

replied. “Can you?”

“Oh, I’m very good in the kitchen,” Frank replied. Seth felt the

man’s eyes move down his body like a scorching heat. He was

growing hard right there in aisle eight of the supermarket. “I like

handling hot stuff.”

Seth almost groaned. He only stopped himself by biting his lower

lip. A moment later he wasn’t so lucky when Frank reached out and

rubbed his thumb across Seth’s caught lip until he let go of it.

“Now, if you go and hurt your lip, how are you going to be able to

enjoy my homemade spaghetti sauce?” Frank asked.

Frank’s touch was feathery light, but Seth felt it all of the way

down to his toes. “Your homemade spaghetti sauce?” he whispered

huskily. “Am I going to be eating your homemade spaghetti sauce?”

“I certainly hope so.”

“Wh–when?” Seth felt like a goober, unable to put a simple word

together, but all he could think of was the way that Frank’s thumb felt

on his lower lip. He wanted to feel it on other parts of his body.

“Tomorrow night?” Frank asked. “Eight o’clock sharp?”

“Your place or mine?”

“That’s up to you,” Frank said. “Do you have a cell phone?”

Seth nodded and dug into his pocket. He handed his cell phone

over when Frank reached for it, watching mesmerized as Frank

punched in a bunch of buttons. When Frank stepped closer as he

handed it back, his phone number was typed in along with his name.

“Call me and we can make arrangements.”

Seth nodded again. He was having a very hard time thinking

clearly. Frank’s cologne surrounded him, and it smelled wonderful.

Seth could just smell an underlying scent of masculine musk. It made

him ache with need and forget all about eating spaghetti. He wanted

something else in his mouth.

“Are you going to call me, Seth?” Frank asked very quietly.

“Are you going to make me spaghetti?” Seth countered.

“I’ll make you anything you want.”

“Then I’ll call.”

“I’ll be waiting.” Frank grinned, sporting his deep dimples once

again. The back of his hand brushed the side of Seth’s face then

quickly fell away before anyone could see. “I want to know what you

can do with those hands of yours.”

Seth’s jaw dropped as he watched Frank walk away. Correction,

the world’s most perfect ass walked away. A tight rounded ass

encased in even tighter blue jeans. Frank was a gay man’s wet dream.

He’d certainly be in Seth’s dreams tonight.

Seth looked at the jarred spaghetti sauce one more time then

headed for the frozen food section of the market, flipping his cell

phone open as he walked. He quickly dialed Micah’s number then

waited for the man to come on the line.

“You are never going to fucking believe what just happened to

me,” Seth said the moment he heard someone connect.

“I might if you were to tell me, Seth.”

“Oh, Gideon, sorry, I thought this was Micah,” Seth said. Even if

he couldn’t see it, he could feel his face heat up. “Is Micah there?”

“He’s a little occupied at the moment,” Gideon replied.

“And you’re able to talk?” Seth chuckled. “He must not be doing

it right.”
